Summary
After a multi-month search and community input, the Enumclaw School District board announced Dr. Mark Wenzel as its next superintendent; the board praised hundreds of community responses that informed the decision.
The Enumclaw School District board on May 18 announced Dr. Mark Wenzel as the district's next superintendent following a multi‑month search that involved staff, students and public input. "We're really excited to have Dr. Mark Wenzel to be our next superintendent of the district," the board chair said during the meeting.
The decision followed an extensive process of candidate review that included finalists spending full days on campus, community forums and a district survey, the board said. A board member who participated in reviewing community comments said hundreds of responses included substantive written feedback about the finalists and that those responses "truly drove our decision." The board thanked staff, students and community volunteers who helped organize interviews and forums.
